This exact issue, literally this problem, is the big divide between tripod/DSLR faggots like sugar and every other generic DSLR boomer, and small camera chads like fe2fucker, garry winogrand, and basically every actual good photographer ever
It's not that you shouldn't take photos it's that you haven't yet found a way to take photos without photos getting in the way, you haven't yet figured out how to set everything up as to not hide behind the camera.

The big camera tripod faggots do not actually enjoy the thing and it shows in how lifeless their photography is. Every single part of the photo taking process is a burden. They can not just whip it out and go on their way. They are not there to enjoy what is going on. They are there to "be a photographer". This is why they are always claiming to be more masculine than other people for carrying one extra pound. Yes, you read that right, they claim to be more masculine for carrying one extra pound. These are the guys that say I SHOOT MANUAL THIS, MANUAL THAT, NO PREVIEW, I HAVE THE MOST PROFESSIONAL F1.2, IM FUCKING SMART AND MANLY OK. The whole fucking activity is about propping up their ego and their ego is partially based on "being a photographer".

The small portable camera chads like fe2fucker, henri cartier bresson, saul leiter, etc, are really just out appreciating life and mindfully looking at things, and the camera happens to be near them when they want to make visual note of a moment. These people prefer kit that is unobtrusive to carry and quick to use to make all the room in their day for enjoying the moment. The total opposite of the big camera fag. And this naturally results in superior photography because their enjoyment of their surroundings translates to truly doing a good job and capturing something beautiful, instead of a sterile perfectly composed snapshit of some dull garbage.
